A view or perspective seen from an aircraft; an aerial perspective or overview of something from above.
Compound of 'air' plus 'view' (from Old French veue, Latin videre 'to see'). The term emerged in the 20th century with aviation.
The first photographs taken from airplanes in the early 1900s completely changed how mapmakers worked—'airview' photography revealed patterns in cities and landscapes that nobody could see from the ground, revolutionizing urban planning.
